"I really like the atmosphere"

Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights finds a fan in singer Alison Goldfrapp, interviewed by Rolling Stone's Thread Count:

What films have you enjoyed recently?
I really liked Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights – and that there was no music used in the film at all. I thought it was really bold; it really made you appreciate small sounds much more. The wind, the branch of a tree batting against the window... I really like the atmosphere it created. (Colleen Nika)

Entertainment Focus and Close-Up are giving away copies of the DVD while Den of Geek! lists 'unlikely DVDs that have become surprisingly valuable', one of which is

Heathcliff
Original release date: October 1999
New copy now worth: £199.99
Cliff Richard went all furry in the 1990s, when he headlined a musical take of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. Said musical was then filmed, and put out in a pretty unspectacular 4:3 framed release back in 1999. Long out of print, the cheapest second hand copy we could find at Amazon UK is now worth ten times the original asking price. (Simon Brew)

It is surprisingly expensive, but we wonder whether there are any buyers?

Inquirer Entertainment mentions yet another take on Wuthering Heights (the 2007 Philippine film The Promise) in an article featuring actor Richard Gutierrez:

In the movies, Richard got good reviews for his work in “The Promise” (inspired by “Wuthering Heights”) opposite Angel Locsin. (Ernie Pecho)

In These Times reviews Jeanette Winterson's Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? recalling a well-known (though always priceless) anecdote:

At home, Winterson was not allowed to read fiction because “the trouble with a book … is that you never know what’s in it until it’s too late,” Mrs. Winterson would say. (She did read Jane Eyre to her daughter but changed the ending so Jane becomes a missionary.) (Sanhita Sinharoy)

Author Turf interviews Joanna Slan, author of the upcoming Death of a Schoolgirl (The Jane Eyre Chronicles) series:

Describe your writing journey, from aspiring writer to published author.
I grew up in a dysfunctional home with an alcoholic father, so I learned early that books were a great way to escape. In particular, I thought of Jane Eyre as a roadmap to a better life, because Jane’s education allows her to make her way in the world and eventually meet a man who respects her. (Brittney Breakey)
